Bark Dust Delivery for Clackamas, OR

For gravel and aggregate delivery in Clackamas, OR, Oregon Rock Supply sells bulk material by the ton and tips it on your site. Most ground here is deep silt or silty clay that moves once it takes on water, so the base under a drive or pad carries the load.

3/4 minus is the material that base is built from.

Materials for Clackamas Projects

A lot of work in Clackamas starts before any finished surface goes down, because grade has to be raised first. Low spots, old building footprints and soft ground all need material under them before a driveway or a shop pad will hold.

Fill and sub-base do that work.

Fill Dirt is bulk fill for raising grade, backfilling and building up low ground. It goes in first, and a graded base course follows on top.

Where ground is wetter or softer than expected, Quarry Run does the same job with rock: it comes raw from the pit face and builds up soft ground before anything graded goes over it.

Once grade is where you want it, 3/4 Minus is the standard Oregon base under driveways, parking pads, shop floors and shed bases. It is crushed rock graded from 3/4 inch down to fines, so it compacts and locks up instead of rolling underfoot.

On top of a compacted base, 1/4 Minus beds pavers and flagstone and gives paths a fine finish. Where water has to move instead of sit, Drain Rock is washed and open for French drains, footing drains, drywells and downspout runs.

Beds and tree rings take Shredded Mulch, the shredded fir and hemlock bark Oregon customers ask for as bark dust.

Ground and Conditions in Clackamas

Across the Willamette Valley and Portland Basin, the ground runs to deep silt on the floor and silty clay loam in the foothills, with river gravel along the waterways. Water moves through that silt and clay slowly rather than draining away.

This part of the state takes 35 to 45 inches of rain a year, nearly all of it between November and March, and the lowlands hold a seasonal high water table. Silt and clay under a drive soften in that weather, and a base built too thin over them will settle and rut.

Fill and sub-base let you raise grade above the wet layer and put a compacted base on ground that holds.

Winter rain also runs off bare silt, scours banks and moves soil on steep slopes. Riprap is specified by class in Oregon, from Class 50 up to Class 2000, and is how slope and bank protection is called out on plans.

Work timing follows the season. Portland treats October 1 to April 30 as the wet weather season and requires bare ground stabilized within two days, against seven days from May 1 to September 30, so base and paving work concentrates in the dry months.

Questions About Material in Clackamas

What is the best base under pavers in Clackamas?

Use 3/4 minus for the base itself. It is crushed rock graded from 3/4 inch down to fines, so it compacts and locks up under a load.

Bed the pavers on 1/4 Minus over that compacted base for a fine, level setting layer. Around here the ground under the base is often silt or silty clay, so the base has to carry the load rather than the soil beneath it.
